Chapter 519: The Beginning of Mourning

However, she was declined by Xia Meng. The only request was that her identity should not be exposed. Therefore, everyone in the Prime Minister's House naturally agreed.

The General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion must be able to protect someone, so even though Xia Meng has been in Sui'an City for so long, people outside don't know that a person like her lives in the General's Mansion.

I thought it was just a distant relative who came to seek refuge.

After soaking for two-quarters of an hour, Du Jingyi finally felt a little more comfortable. She got up and got on the couch, wiped her body and wiped her body. After struggling for a while, it was finally done. When she left the wing room and returned to the main room, she saw that her husband was also there. I've been waiting there for a long time.

"Get some sleep?"

"Um."

Both of them were very tired, so after washing up, they didn't want to eat anything, they just wanted to lie down and sleep. Therefore, they hugged each other and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

This time, I slept comfortably.

When Du Jingyi turned over and woke up, it was dark outside.

"What time is it?"

"It's about time."

"Huh? We slept for so long?"

Du Jingyi's little surprise seemed funny to Gu Shaoyu, so he tapped her nose and said.

"No, it's just that my wife has slept for so long, and my husband woke up an hour earlier than you.

"Then why doesn't the general ask me to get up?"

"Why are you shouting? You have forgotten. We are Zhengxiao now and have a lot of time. It's rare to see you sleeping so deeply, so naturally I won't disturb you."

Du Jingyi thought about it, then sat up and asked.

"In the third year of Ding You's reign, what plans does the general have?"

"It's a legitimate rest, of course, after getting enough sleep. It's just a pity that the children can't go to the camp, so I plan to expand the martial arts training ground to give the children a place to go and lay the foundation properly. It’s solid.”

"The general plans to teach him personally?"

"Otherwise? Let Xing Zhao come?"

When it comes to martial arts skills, Gu Shaoyu is naturally better than Xing Zhao, but Xing Zhao has the advantage of Xing Zhao. It is estimated that children will learn and get started faster if they follow him. If they only follow Gu Shaoyu, they will only suffer half the pain. A person will wilt in just a few months, let alone three years.

Gu Shaoyu saw Du Jingyi's worry, so he said with some humor.

"Madam, my husband is a general with outstanding military exploits, not a man-eating demon. You don't need to look like this. Don't worry, I can take care of all the people in the military camp, let alone four mere children."

Du Jingyi couldn't laugh or cry.

"The general has misunderstood. I am afraid that you will train the children too much. As the saying goes, there is a certain amount of relaxation."

It might be better to take it to the military camp with the participation of other people.

But practicing one-on-four in the backyard might make the children too tired, so Du Jingyi reminded them like this.

In the end, Gu Shaoyu thought differently, nodded and said.

"Madam, what you said makes sense. When I go to find a teacher and come back, I'll give Brother Tai a lesson first."

"Huh? Is that what I mean?"

"Is not it?"

At this time, Du Jingyi didn't know how to answer.

Outside the house, they heard the two of them talking, and then the maid Cherry spoke.

"General, madam, are you getting up?"

After being interrupted like this by her, Du Jingyi didn't bother with the matter anymore. Everyone had to go to class. Let's talk about it later when he was actually found.

"Get up, come in."

Upon hearing this order, Yingying and Shuxiu walked in. One looked for clothes and the other brought warm water. These were habits Du Jingyi had developed over a long time.

Gu Shaoyu was quick and got dressed in a hurry, but Du Jingyi had a little more trouble. And in their current situation, they couldn't wear the clothes they used to wear, so they wore the clothes that they had served Mrs. Gu as filial piety. Those times I did it.

It was one year at that time, but now it is three years. Just such a few clothes are definitely not enough.

Therefore, the first thing Du Jingyi did when he came back was to ask Lu Ju to make clothes for the whole family. There were at least twenty or thirty sets of clothes for each person, changing from spring to summer, autumn and winter. Both adults and children had to be properly prepared.

Cherry said while serving Du Jingyi to dress.

"Lu Ju sent a message, saying that the clothes will be delivered in two days. Madam, please wear these old clothes first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Jingyi teased her.

"Cherry, next time I'll save this kind of thing for when I'm the only one around, otherwise the general will hear it and think I'm wasting my time."

"Yes, ma'am."

Gu Shaoyu turned around and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

But since there were two maids there, I didn't say much.

"Come on, ma'am, go see the children."

"OK."

The couple left Xitang Courtyard and went straight to the courtyard where the children were. During this time, they either stayed at the Duke's Mansion or left early and came back late, so they rarely saw their children.

Now that I have some free time, I naturally want to go and see it.

As soon as they entered the door, the four children were all playing with toys. They were wooden weapons made by the fourth aunt in the past. The brothers liked them very much, so they often danced around with them in their hands.

Sitting next to them were Mr. Du and Mrs. Du, both of whom were darlings. Looking at their four grandchildren, they even had more smile lines at the corners of their eyes. Then they glanced sideways and saw their daughter and son-in-law walking in. They were also full of joy and looked at them. said a child.

"Hey, look who's coming?"

Tai Geer, who heard this first, turned around and saw the couple. His eyes lit up. He immediately put down the wooden sword in his hand and ran over with a smile.

"It's father, it's mother!"

When he spoke, the three brothers also reacted and immediately surrounded them, calling for help with a smile. Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi each held two children and couldn't help rubbing their heads on the children's necks. Their longing was beyond words.

Seeing this, Mrs. Du came over and said.

"Okay, go sit over there. Your legs are tired from squatting."

"Not tired. I haven't seen the children for several days. Every time I come back, they are asleep."

When Du Jingyi said this, she still felt guilty and sorry. Children of this age want their parents' care and love the most, but they haven't been with them much this month.

So, kissing left and right is not enough.

Mrs. Du felt that it was a bit too much. She pulled her daughter's hand and said.

"That's enough. If you keep kissing, the child will dislike you. Go sit down. Have you eaten? You fell asleep as soon as you came back, so I can't ask you."

A series of questions made Du Jingyi a little breathless, and then he smiled and said.

"Mother is still talking about her daughter. Aren't you always concerned about her?"
